We love to watch them grow and show their individual personalities.
Also getting everything ready for the different stages of there lives

Married to my beautiful wife for five years and together for six.
We have three girls and only chickens as pets now. Always had German shepherd’s and labs but something about chickens has taken me over now.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Before we made the plunge into the chicken life I googled questions and found BYC. Spend hours reading posts to research as much as I can and wanted to be a part of the BYC family.
